Benefits of technology

[0044]It is advantageous if the selection of animations and / or interactions to be transferred is provided in the form of assembled groups and / or classes. In this connection, the assembly of the classes and / or the selection of animations and / or interactions can take place automatically and pseudo-randomly controlled.

Problems solved by technology

A disadvantage of Instant Messaging is that this form of communication is limited to the exchange of pure text messages.

Embodiment Construction

[0057]Preferred embodiments of the present invention are now described by way of example for a better understanding.

[0058]Below it is assumed that a first user named “Franz” is in communication with his friend “Manuela”, who represents the second user. The two are communicating over the Internet by means of their respective computers. Both Franz and Manuela have a communication application running on their respective computers for communication with each other. The user interface 1 of this application is represented by way of example in FIG. 1.

[0059]The user interface 1 is the interface which Franz uses to communicate with Manuela. FIG. 1 thus reproduces what Franz sees on his screen when communicating with Manuela. On the screen of her computer Manuela has an interface analogously structured to the user interface 1.

[0060]Below only the structure of the user interface 1 is described.

[0061]The user interface 1 is accomplished as an independent window with three main sections 2, 3 and...

Abstract

Method and system of telecommunication between at least two users over a telecommunications network, wherein the first user is connected to the telecommunications network via a first terminal and the second user via a second terminal, and wherein a virtual representative is allocated to each user. A first virtual representative is allocated to the first user and a second virtual representative to the second user. The first and second virtual representatives are presented on the first terminal and on the second terminal. Information is transferred from the first user to the second user and vice versa by an animation of at least one of the first and second representatives and by an interaction between the first and second representatives, wherein at least one of the animation and the interaction takes place in response to a drag & drop command of a user, and wherein an animation of the first virtual representative takes place in response to a command of the first user and an animation of the second virtual representative takes place in response to a command of the second user.

Description

[0001]The present invention relates to a method and a system by means of which at least two users can communicate with one another via appropriate terminals. Communication is broadened and supported through the use of virtual representatives.BACKGROUND[0002]In addition to more conventional means of communication such as telephone, fax or e-mail there has for some time been a further communications service which has become known as “Instant Messaging” (IM). With this communications service several users using a client program can exchange written messages in real time or also “chat” with one another. A text inputted by a user is sent in real time to the other participating users. These can then respond in turn to sent messages by text input.[0003]A disadvantage of Instant Messaging is that this form of communication is limited to the exchange of pure text messages. In order to overcome this disadvantage and to broaden the possibilities of expression in Instant Messaging, many users u...
